It is absolutely mind boggling. So much amazing art at the Louvre and the only thing people want to see is a small picture we have all seen hundreds of time.
It’s no longer about seeing the small picture we’ve seen hundreds of times.
It’s about showing their followers and friends on social media that they were physically there to take a picture of a portrait that everyone has seen hundreds of times.
Oh, I remember going to the Louvre well before Social Media and back then most people around the Mona Lisa were, just like nowadays, far more worried about taking pictures of it than actually just enjoying it.
IMHO, people always tended to be weird around famous shit and famous people.
It wasn’t social media that made most people be like that. Most likely it’s the reverse: social is successful because most people are like that.
its incredible, and you get to enjoy the awesome works on the floors leading to the fake mona lisa in peace.
all the idiots beeline to the little chamber that can be skipped altogether (you can glimpse on the mini painting and the huge crowd from the grand hallway outside)
the museum also had nintendo switch audio guides with almost working gps tracking and some audios were actually interesting. rule of thumb: if they start with french names you never heard of its not getting better.
Probably a lot of overlap with the type of people that spend hundreds of dollars to see a popular band play their most popular song everyone’s heard several times.

Social media is killing our species.
